  • Perceptions of Authority

    Open AccessElizabeth A Tomsich, Mary E GuyARTICLEAdministration & Society2014Cited by: 1References: 15

We probe how gender affects the interpretation of authority by using simulations of traffic court. Observers evaluated the professional demeanor of the judge. Results indicate that judge gender makes a difference in how professionalism is rated, gender of the citizen makes a difference in how emo…
